IRVINE – Kids visiting the Great Park’s Farmers Market this weekend will get a healthier, different kind of treat in their Halloween bags.

Peaches, plums, corn and green peppers are among some treats for children 12 and under who arrive in costume at the market this weekend.

The inaugural Farmers Market will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, rain or shine at the park, which is off Marine Way and Sand Canyon Avenue in Irvine.

The event will feature fresh fruits and vegetables from 25 local farmers and work by dozens of local artisans, along with gourmet food trucks offering brunch at reasonable prices. Orange County’s Alicia Grant will sing songs from her latest CD at the inaugural market; other area singers and musicians will perform at the market in coming Sundays.

Also, gardeners and backyard farmers can enjoy workshops on how to grow California friendly plants every hour on the hour at the Great Park Farm & Food Lab, adjacent to the market.
